Lmao from the thread it sounds like he was interviewed by BCG and gave them the framework then and BCG reproduced it in their own format. Hence the citation for expert interviews

They will likely republish today with an updated citation.

Nah BCG reached out to Matthew Ball and acknowledged they effed up, although I don't buy their explanation 100%. They're fixing it with his approval, before republishing. 👍

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

Hi MBB Software Engineer fishes,

I recently applied for a position in one of McKinsey’s recently acquired firm for Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead).

The interview process is so damn easy - A medium level Hackerrank test, interview with company CTO and then behavioural round with a McKinsey Director and offer extended.

Wondering if this is a red flag.
